Norris jokes with fan who prefers Verstappen: 'Get him off the microphone!'

During a livestream on Twitch which Lando Norris was participating in, one of the other participants asked a child who is the fastest Formula 1 driver. When he answered 'Max Verstappen', Norris jokingly sent the boy to bed.

During the livestream, a child was asked who the fastest F1 driver is. "Max Verstappen," the young child replied. Norris seemed offended and responded in a joking manner, "Get him away from that microphone, now!", shouts the McLaren driver. "It's bedtime. You're supposed to be in bed now, this is bad parenting," he adds jokingly.

The clip's caption already warns Norris about his language, referring to the new penalty system the FIA has implemented for 'misbehaviour' by drivers. "The FIA is very offended by your language Lando," reads the caption.

The new version of the regulations has caused a lot of outrage not only among racing fans, but also reportedly among F1 drivers and within the FIA itself. President Mohammed Ben Sulayem reportedly pushed the decision through without consultation.
